Hi All,
I have terminal service licensing server currently runing on a w2k adv.
server but in an NT4 domain.
I need to migrate this server to a w2k domain. The problem is any time the
server joins the w2k domain, the terminal licensing service stops.
When I remove the server from the w2k domain then the service starts again.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Is there any special way to do this??
Thanks

Windows 2000 Terminal Services licensing must be run on a
domain controller.  As soon as you put this system into a
domain, you must transfer the TS license service onto the
domain controller.

Hi Matt,
How do I transfer the Ts license ?
Do I deactivate on the server and install a new one on the DC?
In that case do I use the same Lisence id or contact Micrsoft for
a new one?
Thanks

Q.  How do I move my licenses from one licensing server to
another?
 
A.  You should back up your Terminal Services licensing server
regularly by using the Windows Backup tool or similar. This will
help protect your licensing data from accidental loss if your
system experiences hardware or storage failure.

When backing up a Terminal Server License Server, back up both the
System State data and the folder in which the Terminal Server
License Server is installed. This ensures that data in both the
registry and the Terminal Services licensing server database is
backed up.

If you restore the System State data and the database to the
original Terminal Services licensing server computer, any unissued
licenses are restored correctly as long as you have not replaced
the operating system on the computer. Otherwise any unissued
licenses are not restored and an event will appear in the system
log providing the unissued count. You can still restore the
unissued licenses by using the TS License Manager tool with the
Telephone activation mechanism, and requesting the licenses back.
You can switch to the Telephone mechanism by right clicking on the
server in TS License Manager, and selecting properties from the
menu.

in other words: yes, you'll have to phone the Clearinghouse.
